His last response to me when I asked about this issue was assuring me that they were indeed 321 stainless and made in Georgia but would not answer my question as to why these were labeled XS Power. To me, it just seems like he is being shady and evasive. I don't know why he can't just explain it to me instead of just not responding. Thats not a way to run a business

Browsing the Internet, it seems that this has been an issue that was raised before and it seems that the general opinion is that these are just XS Power eBay 304 stainless headers made in China. For those that got actual LPP stamped headers, they are merely just restamped XS Power headers. In which case, he is using XS Power headers, claiming they are 321 stainless and manufactured in Georgia and selling them for more money. That is clearly a scam, if true. I also found that a lot of people who purchased LPP headers seem to have the same problem of very little to no communication.
Which makes me wonder if there is any concern from LTXtech since LPP is a sponsor on this site.

Welding the tag on in GA is a way to claim "Made in teh USA", believe QTP used to do that with their headers as well.
Correlation does not imply causation.

So i talked to Carl at LPP about the xspower thing and he said that they manufacturer them for him and ship them to us . He also said that they were in fact suppose to put the LPP LOGO on but they didn't .
From my understanding xspower headers are 304 stainless steel and the LPPS that are sent to us are 321 .
I did some research on the differences between the two and 321 a magnet will not stick to it and i tried this and in fact the magnet fell right off .
I was supposed to receive a set of LPP headers tags but he never sent then

Most 300 series stainless is not magnetic, including 304. And he told you XS Power makes these headers and ships them then that means these headers are manufactured in China and not Georgia as he had told me. And how is that you were able to communicate with him so fast and myself, two other members and a moderator of this site have not been able to get ahold of him? Did you tell him about this thread?

He told me that they make them on sight in Georgia not china because the conversion was last year . Calm it down buddy.
